Review:

An excellent light-hearted comedy, I can see why Dr. Johnson liked it.

Mrs. Malaprop is hilarious.

The characters all work well together to bring off a solid comedy.

The writing itself is excellent, Mr. R.B. Sheridan was a member of Johnson’s literary club, and you had to be good just to get nominated for membership, let alone to be a member in good standing.
